I was about to post something about this UPI item which reported that Iran’s envoy to the IAEA, Mr. Ali Asghar Soltanieh, was seen on Iranian state television saying that his country was ready for “talks without preconditions” on the state of its nuclear program.

But now it turns out he’s backpedalling and didn’t actually say the thing he is reported to have said. Perhaps Iranian journalism is just as prone to sensationalism and error as our own.
